Mother
I am sorry for the words I once said to you
I have learned the things I've said affect what I do
Now that I have realized the things I didn't see
I just hope someday you can understand me
I try to say the things I meant to say to you
But every time I just think about it, it tends to make me blue
I just feel so lucky, and I just wanted you to know
That deep down in my heart I will never let you go
I know that we had bad times, but we seemed to make it through
I know that you love me, cause Mom, I love you, too
I keep thinking of the days when I seemed to treat you bad
And thinking of those days, Mom, really makes me mad
When I was just a little girl, I wondered where you could be
I wished every night that you could be with me
I hoped the tears that I had cried, somehow you could see
That the drops that fell from my cheeks were the sadness that
drained from me
But then one day you came home, and finally you were free
And, Mommy, I can't tell you what that meant to me
I hope that life gets better, for I didn't mean to hurt you
But, Mommy, as a child, you have hurt me, too
You're the best mommy that there could ever be
And I'm so very glad, Mom, that you have chosen me
So now you know my feelings, and I hope you think it through
Because the feelings that are inside of me are all because of you.
